LISKEARD Town Council is urging anyone who would like to become a councillor to step forward.

The Council has a vacant seat in the South Ward and hopes to fill the role by the end of this month.

“We need all different types of people so that the Town Council reflects the community it serves, so whatever your age, background or skills you could be the perfect person, you just need some time, enthusiasm and commitment,” says the Council.

“The work our council does is both exciting and rewarding. It includes: engaging with local people, groups and businesses to find out their needs; making decisions on the services and projects the council should take forward; and getting involved to ensure services are meeting the community’s needs.”
